"The higher Mr. Cutler climbs in the polls, analysts say, the more likely he is to siphon votes from Mr. Michaud and hand the election to Mr. LePage. If Mr. Cutler were not in the race, the University of New Hampshire poll showed, Mr. Michaud would lead Mr. LePage 50 percent to 44 percent.
In other words, Mr. LePage needs Mr. Cutler. This dynamic is shaping the race and has been evident at the three debates held so far. An animated Mr. LePage, something of a ham on stage, has nodded and smiled at many of Mr. Cutler’s comments while shaking his head in exasperation at many of Mr. Michaud’s. Mr. LePage and Mr. Cutler have even exchanged high-fives, prompting Democrats to call their unlikely relationship a “bromance.”
The crosscurrents can be confusing to voters. Nate Blair, 28, a hotel manager here, said he was “leaning” toward Mr. Michaud but wanted “to hear what Cutler has to say.” He will not vote for Mr. LePage (“He makes Maine look uneducated”) but worries that a vote for Mr. Cutler is a vote for Mr. LePage.
